Variations on a Well Known Sea Chanty

[nextjuanplz]

just played tonite at a concert. viola :)

[Erin101Green]

@nextjuanplz omg im playing it at disney world! viola as well!!!

[nextjuanplz]

@Erin101Green :o nicee :p

[unleashtiger]

Not together, bad tone, not seated and sitting right, chairs should be in a more closely knit group, dressed nice but nvr make people where formal jackets while playing, I mean that is just common sense

[animeisawesome11]

@FourTwentyGanja Wow, really? We have... 4 basses, about maybe 15 1st violins, maybe 12-13 2nd violins, about 12 violas, and I know for a fact 17 cellos (I'm one of those 17 cellos). Yup. Orchestra people rock!!!! :D

[animeisawesome11]

Yay! I love this song! My orchestra is doing this one.

[MegaCherryCat]

Im in 7th grade and my orchestra can play defiantly better than this, we did this for our last concert.

Im sorry but this sounds pretty bad.

[FourTwentyGanja]

we have to play this for our orchestra concert too. ours sounds a bit more full, we have 5 basses, 4 cellos, 4 violin, 2-3 violas ;)

[froggermea96]

im playing this in my intermediate high school orchestra class * i play the bass*

[FourTwentyGanja]

@froggermea96 me too, its a blast, pretty easy too

[camdahottie1]

Ahhh I loved playing this piece when i was in honors orchestra!!! I miss it!

[bubbleybubbles1997]

haha there is like 10 kids in that orcestra!!! bahhaha!! (:

[Kaitlynluvsu13]

first your sitin wrong in ur chair second you guys keep playong wrong and going the wrong way third u guys were playin wrong notes and cmon im in 6th grade and weve been playin for 6 months  and we play wayyy btr than thiss

[animeicerose97]

i like dis song :D

[blondboy2323]

I'm in 8th grade and I play the cello and this song. I think the most difficult part is the 8th noted pizz. section we have.

[sceneypreplove]

intonation was best. and and articulation. i think there was some confusion in the notes. cellos needed to get 4th fingersin tune.

[eaglesgogirl]

@sceneypreplove please tell me that was a typo,intonation was the worst especially the violins on their 'wailing e-strings'

[eaglesgogirl]

wow song was not good atall

NO articulation

NO bow style

Not much dynamics.... definatly playing at 3rd grad level try twinkle twinkle

fod you sake PLEAES learn the style first short detache bowing!!! INTONATION!!!! Violins seriously!!!

[animeicerose97]

@eaglesgogirl

ok then this was definetley not 3rd grade level, i think the did great besides dynamics--and the bow style doesnt matter so just shut up

i bet they play bettr than u

[eaglesgogirl]

@animeicerose97 what is your level of playing if you don't consider dynamic and bow style! they mean everything to a piece!

[dsl3x]

um...who cut off the video?!? ugh the ending was so amazing!! *sad face*

[dsl3x]

I THINK THEY SOUND AMAZING....ALL OF Ya'LL is A BUNCH OF HATERS!!....well...the ones who said negative things...this is why i hate youtube...ugh

[animeicerose97]

this song is totally awesome cuz im playin it in orchestra.

GO SPONGEBOB! XD

[Grimpeeper2]

I'm playing this in my Orchestra! =D Spongebob!

[animeicerose97]

lol were playing this song in orchestra...but i think this tempo is a lil fast. :D but its awesome!!!

its on spongbob :)

[astringendo45]

My god, this is horrible! What is this, the 5th grade orchestra?

[animeicerose97]

Wow you're so mature. Point out the good things someone can do instead of opposing to them.

[eaglesgogirl]

@astringendo45 read my comments I can feel your sympathy

[c00lbandit1]

I have the song on youtube. Here is a link to it. I will be uploading links to the parts soon.

watch?v=kXIKBDbR1Vc

[craziestar12]

I play Violin and im playing this piece.. and they suck. No offense. they also a littleeeeeee above tempo. but maybe its a different version of it.

IDon'tKnow..

[menuselect3]

ha! I played this in the 6th grade

[MermaidLuchiaPink]

....................

[raamentrio]

i love this song, i play bass at my school

and we`re playing the song. It`s so fun to play.

[anari2006]

good

[chrisshar1995]

wow they suck at it

[JonOlvida]

Id like to see your play it.

[JerichoAHilton]

my orchestra is playing this for state competition tomorrow...:)

[animaniac126]

My school is playing this for the spring concert (along with Viva La vida by coldplay, and Allegretto by Beethoven). It's helpful to know what it's supposed to sound like ^^

[depressedandangry96]

were doin viva la vida 2

[lufy79]

i heared a mess up at 2:55 becaus the plucking is my favorite part, i play bass but my bro taught me the chello part. at 2:55 u can clearly hear the string they messed up on

[depressedandangry96]

our 7th and 8th grade orchestra did this for our winter concert, but we did this piece slower.

[AAJGFG]

lucky im in 8th and were playing it almost faster than this

[depressedandangry96]

i always play it faster in my free time but i couldnt stand it slower. it was rlly gay but it turned out 2 sound rlly nice and purrttyy.

[JonOlvida]

Why would you be playing it faster than this. This is the right tempo for this song. Any faster it wouldnt sound very good o_o.

[LaurenBlogs]

My orchestra is playing this at a festival in a week. We're playing it a little faster than this, but its really fun to play :) good job! (I play cello)

[chelly2194]

same here! in a week and i play cello too!

[BusterBrownBay]

haha this is one of my favorite songs to play

[DemonicAngel]

THIS SONG IS ON ROLLER COASTER TYCOON!

[menuselect3]

um its richard stephan not rudi

[menuselect3]

wow im in the 7th grade and we can play this better than them

[pokeyasharules]

this is great i'm playing this in school now but the bowing directions were off otherwise its pretty much perfect ya. I love this song!!!

[Fastpitchinggrl1]

Oh wow. We played this song also.. They dont sound the best... :P

[ImaAlliGhurl101]

our orchestra is playing this song in our concert in like a week! im exited but our group has like an intonation probem. but all we can do is try our best. good job!

[hylianviolinist]

Cellos need to watch intonation a bit, but it's practically perfect otherwise. c:

[jawa108]

i started playing cello in fourth grade im in 7th this is a pretty easy song

[xNightSkyxX]

It was better then my class -.- but it was a lil sped up, slow down just a bit and it would have been perfect

[yourruler425]

well i am playing this song in orchestra but not to be mean but there's much improvement that can be made in this song what grade orchestra grade is this i am in 7-8th grade orchestra

[fudgelover023]

Playing this song in Gold Orchestra!

[JBros123]

i love this song! i am viola and this is my fav song to play. my fav mesure is 84 or about 1;44 because its so fast and fun to play! though i am only in 8th grade i can play this song perfecty and i only started in 4 well ok thats a long time =P haha

[ceddie93]

i love this song as well. i think it is dumb to talk about one being able to play a song 'perfectly' its about playing with your emotions and being able to put yourself into it as much as you can. playing perfectly is about technique and music is nothing like that. if you can play this perfectly than you are a techincian if you play it with your emotions and passion you are a musican, an artist.

[kazz1028]

my school is performing this song for our winter concert. i play 2nd violin.

[kanjiguy106]

Me too!

[kazz1028]

really? what state?

[kanjiguy106]

Texas

[kanjiguy106]

Texas

[kazz1028]

oh im new york

i thought maybe we go to the same school

lol

its a good song, right!?

[kanjiguy106]

Just a question: Did the cellos and viola play the grace notes at m. 52,54, and 56?

[kanjiguy106]

You're orchestra is beter than ours. We have 8cellos and we could barely hear them. You have 2 and I can hear them clearley! We're playing this in October.

I don't know if anybody will agree but the final variation makes you feel like you did something great.

[cha4050]

i have to play this song for song..

[xeygarz]

Our advanced orchestra played that at our school too. I wanna play that song next year like they did this year.

[gaaraluver188050]

omg that was awsome but us 7th and 8th graders play it different becsue when it is the top of the 2nd page we have to slow down for the cello's(im a violin) and us 2nd violins cant ever get 210 right but now that i know what it sounds like i might be able to play it myself kool thanx and that by the way was awesome

[ricky54326]

No offense, but.. ever heard of a thing called DYNAMICS?

[Killer829]

ahh we played this in class it is boring when we play it. but im in 7th gr so ya. and our orchestra sux anyway.

[plumdiddle21]

yeah we played this my 8th grade year. kick ass song. fun and easy

[Peppsi101]

Today is may 18, One year aniversity!!!!!YAAAAAAAAAA!!!!­!!!!!

[ricky54326]

[dstnwgntn]

um... nice performance but kinda unprofessional to have bows moving @ different times...

[BrokenDreamer]

Violin :)

Thanks ^_^

[chiqueramini]

@dstnwgntn This is a hard song : /

[bkkings1212]

implaying this song now in orchestra

[dstnwgntn]

[TheBeSharps79]

We're going to play this song. It's everyone's favorite, but we haven't played it in a couple of years, so the conductor is bringing it back. I'm excited

[kkiimmmmbboo]

but ours isn't 6 minutes though

[kkiimmmmbboo]

i'm doing this in orchestra now!

i'm in middle school haha

[danman808]

This is such a long song.

I'm playing this right now as a sixth grade violist

I have a hard time 92-100

[JoshuaHallto]

what? play it slow then fast its really fun!

[x3panicitsbrennax3]

we are playin that too in our festival ... =D u guys had some pitch problems but u guys are good :]] and u guys also slowed down at the part after variation 2..btw other than that pretty good

[Jesusismywarroir]

hahaha i am 5th grade and i play this but not as complanted it like takes 2 mins.

[20001622]

We played this in 7th grade orchestra =D

I still have the music, great song

[cardcaptorsakura99]

i used to play this as well and i think that may be my strings teacher also

[BrokenDreamer]

He was our student teacher. . .Mr. Mason :) Is it the same guy?

[superadamguy]

wow i guess everyone is playing it too oh and the reason for the clapping at the rests was the pause look at the music its written there.

[BrokenDreamer]

Fun song, I guess? haha

[ricky54326]

We're playing this too at my high school. It's pretty ironic how EVERYWHERE people clap between movements :P

[BrokenDreamer]

LOL! I just realized how true that is! =P

I guess the audience just love Variations on a Well Known Sea Chanty - they can't get enough from any orchestra xD

[FuzzySparkle182]

DJAMS!

[KenB22193]

nice song, playing it at middle school tonight =p.

[FuzzySparkle182]

This is a cool song to play. the middle school orchestra is playing it, my school. I'm playing! (violin)

Awesome song.

[BrokenDreamer]

YAY for violins! =D

It is a very awesome song

[candilion34]

[soccergirl924]

my high school philharmonic orchestra and i are playing this for elementary school kids and i love this song!!!

how many violas are there in this video anyways? (i play viola and violin)

[BrokenDreamer]

Great song!

I hope the elementary kids will enjoy it too!

There is only 1 viola :)

[soccergirl924]

nice, that might be why they're sorta out of tune.

[adc2223]

i love this song!

my high school is going to play it for our UIL performance!

the D from the cello is a little low, but overall this sounds great! great job!

[ownz690]

we have been playing the song for a good 5 months, gets boring, but oh well. sounds good when we have about 50 people playing it at once overall

[BrokenDreamer]

Yeah, it tends to get boring, not too bad though.

haha, bet it does!

[BrokenDreamer]

Yeah, it tends to get boring, not too bad though.

haha, bet it does!

[Aussiescopper]

We're playing this song in our orchestra right now. We just started playing it though.

[BrokenDreamer]

That's cool! I hope you have fun, it's a great song to play! Very fun =D

[Sarahlizzio]

at 2:41 the cellos are going a bit too fast... yea, the cellos are that bad but they do kinda suck...

[BrokenDreamer]

AW, thank you! =D

That year, both of the celli just started. . they're used to playing other instruments. =D

[AZNSk8er4lyf]

wow lol i am playin this for my brass ensamble but its a different version

[BrokenDreamer]

That's really cool! A brass ensemble sounds awesome =D

[Vocellist2010]

OMG, what were the cellos thinking at 1:09-1:17....

[BallPythonlover]

wow! My orchestra cellos are way better!

[ownz690]

they dont play it too well it sounds, maybe just the recording, because it really isnt that great anyway, im sure its worse recording triplets upscaling :P

[Vocellist2010]

I remember playing this piece as a cellist in 7th grade!!! WOW, this takes me back

[BallPythonlover]

I play this now and I'm in 5th grade

[punkdoglover0]

[Kaka4Milan]

[smilingpig67]

Our orchestra that played this has like 15 violinists, 4 violists, 4 cellists and one bass.

[Hostclubfangirl]

Ah, we're playing this song right now. I'm finding it a bit diffuicult right now. I think we're playing it faster than you guys are right now though XD Well, it sounds cool! We have cellos, a viola and just about a billion seccond violins, but only about three of us can be heard XD It's awesome. I love this song XD

[violaboychair2]

OMFG I think the last note was cut-off.

[BrokenDreamer]

It's one of my favorites too! =D

[BallPythonlover]

My orchestra is a lot bigger, A lot of people!

I can't believe this song is five pages long! I play easy 2nd, I'm a violinist and I'm only in fifth grade!

[BrokenDreamer]

Good job! You'll probably get moved to 1st in a little bit! Good luck! =D

[BallPythonlover]

I play this on my violin, I'm a 2nd class, I also play Carribean Cruise

[BrokenDreamer]

Ohh, that cool!

[BrokenDreamer]

Haha, we only have two (sometimes one). =D

[plainwhitetsfan01]

Same here, we have 2 cellos but the girl player just started so sometimes she's in a little room practicing and sometimes she's playing with us. Do you guys have only 2 basses?

[BrokenDreamer]

[violaboychair2]

WOW 1 VIOLA WE HAVE 1 BASS 9 VIOLAS 30 sumthin

seconds 20 sumthin firsts and 2 Cellos

[Ravenna25]

I'd like a copy of the violin parts of this as well. I played this in High School a few years ago, and though my memory is starting to fog up... I don't remember it as well as I used to! I like to warm up with this when I play.

[523624]

I have violin 1 and 2 if you still want it!!!

[523624]

dude if ya want i can e-mail it to you in an attachement. i am not a computer! and i won't attatch a virus---don't worry. so do you want it???

[Ravenna25]

Yeah, that'd be great!

[523624]

ok so i need an e-mail address. and i will send it to you immediately. so you want violin 1 & 2?

[523624]

wait sorry-i accidently deleted your e-mail address. can u resend it to my account-sorry!!

[Ultimaz]

Lol the first chair in your first violin section is very stiff =P

[BrokenDreamer]

hehe, yeah, just a tad =P

[523624]

i agree

[curlytop1370]

we are playing this song in my middle school orchestra it is so much fun to play

[BrokenDreamer]

it is fun!

[PurifyThis]

We're playing this song in my High School orchestra... it's a wonderful song ^_^. Sounded like the Cellos had a few intonation problems on Variation 2 though... and it is rushed a bit. It wasn't perfect, but it will do :)

~Cellist ftw ;)

[BrokenDreamer]

Hehe, they both learned cello this year! One is Druma Major [last year]. . fantastic trumpeter! The other a bass drumer and a bass player [both guitar and stand up] =P

[MuShRoOmHeAd6116]

we are playing this in my high school orchestra as well

[KHwarrior]

does anyone have a copy of this song for violin that they could copy for me? I love this song.

[BrokenDreamer]

I wish I did, but we all handed it back in, sorry :(

[BrokenDreamer]

Thank you!! =D *hug*

[transformers777]

I think youse guys played well ^-^.

[523624]

does anyone have a copy of this song for violin on a scanner? If so, could you send it?

[BrokenDreamer]

Mm, yeah. *cough*blameourstudentteacher*­cough* LOL

[hula121heavy]

Our juniour high orchestra played this exact song. It was stiff, rushing and lacked emotion and good dynamics. Still good, but not great

[BrokenDreamer]

Fun song, eh?

's oaky, we know we rushed XD But it was quite fun!
